The Valencia Marina has been the setting for the launch of the bid “Valencia, World Design Capital 2022”, at an event during which design, and the commitment to this concept by the city of Valencia, played the leading role. An increasingly emphatic support for design which, for more than a century, has shaped a city that is bidding to become the World Design Capital in 2022.
The project presentation was attended by the mayor of Valencia, Joan Ribó, the president of the organising committee, Marisa Gallén, and the strategic managers of the project, Xavi Calvo and Pau Rausell, together with many other project participants related to the world of design in the Valencian Community, including the companies behind the promotion of this bid, such as Actiu, Andreu World, Capdell, Equipo DRT, GANDIABLASCO, AIDIMME, Istobal, La Imprenta, Point, Suavinex, Grupo Torrecid, Trèbol and Cervezas Turia.
